Spanish Christmas Course in Vejer

Spanish Christmas Course in Vejer de la Fronter

This beautiful hilltop town – with its winding alleyways, hidden courtyards, and narrow streets – is perfect for a Christmas language adventure. When decorated with festive lights and Nativity scenes, the town becomes even more atmospheric than it is throughout the rest of the year!

Located on the old boundary between Christian and Moorish forces – hence ‘de la Frontera’ – the town combines influences from both sides of its heritage and turns them into one singular, distinctive culture. Nowhere is this evidenced more than in its festive traditions. Vejer hosts a fantastic calendar of events throughout the year, kicking things up a notch with the traditional Andalusian ‘Living Nativity’ on the last Sunday before Christmas Day. This celebration involves turning the entire town into a recreation of Bethlehem, even including farm animals, ancient crafts, and tableaus of famous Christmas imagery such as the Three Wise Men, the Holy Family, and King Herod. Locals dress up in traditional costumes and re-enact scenes from Bible stories and the Nativity. The festival lasts until around midnight, offering food and drink aplenty, a friendly and social setting, and live music played in the streets until late.

Christmas in Vejer de la Frontera is an important season for spending time with family, for celebrating local traditions, and for enjoying delicious local produce – presents very much come last on the list in this part of the world (they’re not even exchanged until January 6th!). By spending the run-up to Christmas in this classic Andalusian town, you’re guaranteed to have an experience like no other, and one which will stay with you forever!

Accommodation

Accommodation is not included in this package as standard but can be added for an additional fee. The below options are available between Sunday 15th and Saturday 21st December 2019.

For complete immersion in the Spanish language, we highly recommend selecting homestay lodging. With this option, you’ll have a private bedroom and share communal areas such as the lounge and bathroom(s) with your host(s) and any other students in the home. Meals will be provided by your host, and you can choose between a half-board or full-board package. Dinnertime presents the perfect opportunity to socialise with your host(s), giving you invaluable language practice outside the classroom. Your host(s) will provide a weekly laundry service and room-clean, though you should keep your space tidy during your stay. Bed linens are included but towels are not, so you should bring your own.

Alternatively, we can add accommodation in an apartment shared with other international students from the school, or in a private studio apartment for your own use. Both the shared apartments and studio apartments are offered on a self-catering basis, giving you the freedom to cook for yourself during your stay or enjoy meals in local restaurants. In both options, bed linens are provided but towels are not, so you should bring your own.

If you prefer, you are welcome to book just your tuition with us and arrange your own lodging in Vejer. Please contact us for more information on these packages.
